The starting premise of this book is that the political polarization between citizens in red states and citizens in blue states has reached a threshold level.At this point in American history, middle and working class citizens in red states are confronted with two paths.Red state citizens could do nothing, and accept the path of blue state Democrat Marxism, that increases the power of the central government over the lives of citizens.That path leads to a global police state of citizen surveillance and a social credit system controlled by central banks, private corporations, and tech companies.Alternatively, citizens in red states could restore the original 1776 principles of liberty that animated the first American Revolution, by implementing a decentralized political system, based upon a metro-decentralized entrepreneurial capitalist economic system.We wrote about the irreconcilable cultural and moral differences between citizens in red and blues states, leading up to a political civil dissolution, at this point in history. (Laurie Thomas Vass, A Civil Dissolution: The Best Solution to America’s Irreconcilable Ideological Conflict, 2023).In this book, we extend our analysis, that after a political civil dissolution, what comes next for citizens in the red states is creating a new, better constitution.Our book explores how red state citizens might craft a more fair constitution that puts political power back in the hands of ordinary people, at the state and local levels of government.We combine a political dissolution with a constitutional dissolution that aims at creating fair economic rules.Political geographical dissolution - the cultural/geographic separation along red/blue state lines that is inevitable.Constitutional dissolution - the fundamental redesign of economic rules and institutional structures, moving away from Madison’s system that enabled the original ruling class aristocracy, that eventually turned into a global predatory state capitalism.
